City of Salina

The City of Salina is pleased to announce that the Salina Municipal Solid Waste Landfill has reopened and resumed normal operations following a temporary closure due to a power outage caused by lightning during yesterday’s thunderstorm.

. . .

Due to lightning that occurred during the thunderstorm this morning, Sept. 17, the Salina Municipal Solid Waste Landfill is closed until further notice. 

A power outage that resulted from lightning has caused computer systems and the scale house to be inoperable.   Staff is working to resolve the issues as soon as possible. The public will be advised when the landfill will re-open as soon as systems are restored.

Trash collection by all service providers may be delayed until the landfill re-opens. 

For further information or updates regarding the closure, please contact the landfill at (785) 826-7395.
